The East Melbourne site of Catholic Theological College brings together the historic bluestone of the original Parade College, designed by William Wardell, and the award-winning architecture of Gregory Burgess, whose creative designs earned him the Royal Australian Institute of Architects Gold Medal in 2004.

The site was the winner of the Heritage Property Award (2001) of the Australia Property Institute, and the subject of commendation in the 2000 Victorian Architecture Awards of the RAIA in 2000.
